Sorry, no I didn't. I guess they have some sort of short-range radio link that synchronises the timing of the smoke blips? The PA at Miramar said that it was linked in with their GPS system (which of course includes very good clocks), pre-programmed with many patterns, and controlled from the ground.   |

Unceremoniously stuffed into the Ops packup, I think!!
I've just figured out how to convert DVD video into .mov files, so am uploading a few snippets of video put together by Daz Smith.

Nice photos. How long has the Hawkeyes had the 8 blade props!!! Baz ;D Hawkeye 2000s first deployed in 2003 aboard USS Nimitz with VAW-117 "Wallbangers" and CVW-11. U.S. Navy E-2C Hawkeyes have been upgraded with eight bladed propellers as part of the NP2000 program; the first squadron to cruise with the new propellers was VAW-124 "Bear Aces". The latest version can track more than 2,000 targets simultaneously (while at the same time, detecting 20,000 simultaneously) to a range greater than 400 miles (650 km) and simultaneously guide 40–100 air to air intercepts or air to surface engagements. |
